Okay, calmed down a little. I think venting here cleared my mind a little. Thanks TLEE, HP, Mozza. I'm trying to make sure I'm not trying to control. However, my core problem right now is I don't trust her with the kids emotions. It's coming back, but very slowly. It's something I need to continue to work on.
Your right, while I didn't like that she just assumed a schedule and stated what it "will" be, she replied back, she answered my call, when I talked she didn't freak out, didn't want to talk until next week, but I guess that's okay.
Those are things I wanted to accomplish with this. I guess I had an expectation that she would 'ask' to watch the kids instead of my parents, it's not fair to get angry at her because she didn't reply back with the right word. Email stinks to communicate anyway.
In the email, I had some other stuff that required an exchange between us. I just sent another email back to her. Explained my desires and reasons for maybe working the schedule, but said we'd talk at counselling (mediation)
As I said to HP, I bought a sign last week:
"Expect nothing, Appreciate Everything"
I got it, I'll make sure I heed that second part tonight.
